Lunch

I went to Taco Bell for lunch today. It's an interesting place...if you are a people watcher. I noticed two types of "sitting-by-themselves" people today. You've probably noticed them yourself. They are the book readers and the non-book readers.

The book readers, obviously, have books that they are reading. I wonder if it's because they don't like to be along while eating and they feel reading makes them look less lonely....OR....if its because their workplace is crazy busy and they just need to unwind a little bit....OR maybe they simply just enjoy reading.

The non-book readers I would classify as the "tougher" crowd...a lot of times they are construction workers or power suits. They eat and leave...no relaxing. They are on the go but didn't want to wait in the ridiculous long drive thru. They typically look straight ahead, do not smile and try to hide their uncomfortableness.

What am I? Depends on the day...
